"The Prayer of Boomerica"
O' Lord What have we done to deserve the unthinkable punishment of spilling our children's blood in a foreign land? O' God How have we offended Thee? When have we failed to serve Thee? Have we not been generous to the poor? Have we not been gracious to our neighbors? Have we not visited the prisoners in their distress? Have we not suffered this before? Why must we suffer again then The sacrifice of innocents And why must "our" innocents Bring the responsibility of the slaughter Of "their" innocents upon our heads? Why must our generation be at war? Did not our fathers and mothers also know war? Is this not now for us the war of our youth And the war of our parenthood? Do we not have a belly full of war? Help us to "learn war no more!" cb / 2004
